>dude just get lucky and beat the game
>>726004154What's your excuse, OP?
>>726004218I didn't get lucky 124 runs in a row
Love this game but never beat it.Great gameplay but fuck RNG.
>>726004218let me guess, this guy manipulates the RNG somehow
>>726004154Binding of isaac and its consequences on game design have been a distaster for the industry
the year is 2025/v/ is still full of shitters
lmaoing @ the shitters in this thread thinking RNG is everything in FTL. It's not difficult to achieve an 80% win rate or higher on hard mode if you>prioritize certain upgrades/system purchases early on>always have enough money for shops>know what to pick for blue events>learn how to effectively micromanage crewThe game is busted, and if it were solely luck-based, there wouldn't be guys out there getting win streaks in the dozens with randomized ships.>>726004382>what? somebody is better than me at video games?>CHEATER CHEATER CHEATERUntermensch slave mentality.
>>726004154>threadslop>dude just throw shit and see what sticks
Void War is the superior game for the simple fact that you don't get infinite health medbays.
>>726004921>lmaoing @ the shitters in this thread thinking RNG is everything in FTLthis is when I quit the game and never touched it again
>>726005317>use ion/missiles/lasers/beams to destroy enemy weapons>hack enemy weapons>activate cloak>activate defense drone>invest in another shield level beforehandProblem?
>>726004218what dat
>>726006286Hexcells. It's a game. He's playing it while going AFK to grind crew proficiencies against an enemy that can't deal damage to his hull.
>get vulcan or as many lasers possible >aim the enginegg ez
People can go on triple digit winstreaks. So tired of retards who don't get roguelites and over emphasized the random aspect.
Just backup and restore the save files as you like, its a minor bother
>>726005317sounds like you got owned like a baby
>>726006495oh thats clever
>>726004921This. FTL isn't dogshit because of any delusions regarding RNG. FTL is dogshit because the user experience is dogshit and creates a needlessly steeper curve for what's otherwise a much shallower and easier to master game compared to your typical roguelike.
>>726004154FTL is maybe the only game that has done this well. The flagship is this difficulty 90 degree curve but the journey up to it is so fun losing to it doesn't feel that bad.
>>726006495I've found myself doing that too, the minmaxer impulse just makes it too tempting when you realize the opportunity
the only flaw of FTL is getting the crystal cruiser via the questthat shit is legitimately impossible
>>726006858Clash of the Titans is clearly the most bullshit thing in the game.
>>726006858Just start savescumming when the chance to get it arises
>>726004154FTL is one of the few games who does rogue-lite well as you can beat the game with the initial equipment and if you know what you are doing your chances are very high to win.
>>726006697 Absolutely. The flagship’s ramp in difficulty is brutal, but it serves its purpose as a final exam for all the systems and decisions you've juggled to get there. It’s the only game where getting obliterated feels like a dignified sendoff instead of a waste of run time. Biggest crime is that more games didn’t rip that design off.
>>726010812Except if you ran a boarding ship
>>726010136>you can beat the game with the initial equipmentTo be fair, Kestrel's weapons are among the best you can get in the game. They are crazy power efficient so you can survive even with bad luck in first sector(s) and don't have to build your ship around them. Slap another Burst II or Flak I and maybe a freebie heavy I you get all the time and you can kill anything
>>726004154literally skill issue
>>726004154Dude, just play their far better game.
>>726005317>Fully powered upgraded engineI dont play on easy mode
>>726013081I was looking at this on Steam 2 days ago. I loved FTL a lot, played it to death and sometimes still do. Is Into the Breach a fun experience as well?
>>726004154>disable fleet pursuit >game is no longer roguelite or heavily reliant on RNG
>>726010136 Hard agree. The real beauty of FTL is how much mileage you can get out of sheer system knowledge. People act like it’s all RNG but if you know when to save missiles, how to prioritize subsystems, and adapt your route based on sector types, you can absolutely rock with the basic Kestrel build. Burst II is practically a cheat code and your early scrap gains can snowball hard if you don’t toss it into meme builds.
>>726010812The flasghip isn't even that hard, there are random ships in sector 5/7 that are more likely to kill you
>>726013081How about the copycat, does that improve on the base-game at all?
>>726015623I loved Into the Breach. Gameplay wise it's more balanced and I'd say flat out better.The one thing FTL has over it is that it nails its thematic niche perfectly. If you ever wanted to captain your own little Star Trek ship, you can instantly understand it. ItB tries to be its own thing so it's a little harder to grasp. I never knew I wanted to run a timeline drifting, city protecting, mecha piloting corporate merc squad into kaiju fights on a city sized chessboard. Turns out I really did
>>726017081It does, if you can look past the whole copycat thing. Stumbles a bit in places like a shortage of memorable events or simplified oxygen mechanics, but the new content more than makes up for it.
>a statistical outlier exists>therefore the general probabilistic rule is falseSo many mathlets living vicariously through others. Truly pathetic cuckery.
>>726004154Play good roguelikes that rely on your skill alone
>I flip a coin 20 times and get heads every time>SEE NOOBS IT'S NOT LUCK BECAUSE AN UNLIKELY EVENT OCCUREDnone of you have STEM degrees lol
>>726020129>I get a one in a million chance of an event, and claim it's statistically significant>You claim it isn'tokay bro
>>726020129If I have a 95% chance of getting heads on every flip I'm probably doing something else and not relying on luck
>>726004154Literally all roguelikes in a nutshell. Are you under 18?
I'll never forget the time I got a free Weapon Pre-igniter in the first zone, just the most bullshit absurdly good luck possible, and still managed to lose soon after. I'll never live that shame down.I blamed that loss on RNG (missiles hitting all the wrong rooms), but I dunno, there's people with 100+ wins a row so I think it probably was all on me.
>>726004154lmaoing @ this lucklet
